About me
I bring a rich blend of expertise in Psychology, Computer Science & Cybersecurity, Art Direction & Design, Divinity, and Fine Arts to the table. My passion for problem-solving is matched by my proven ability to innovate and create effective methodologies that enhance connection and productivity through design. My experience includes leading and executing large-scale design initiatives focused on user experience, which not only improved user engagement but also contributed significantly to the product's success. As the first Director of UX at Bluewolf, I was instrumental in creating a new UX pipeline, turning it into a significant revenue channel by establishing a UX department that became a key component of the company's service offerings and revenue. I founded CHD Collective, a design agency that achieved profitability within its first year, where I mentored and managed a remote team of 8-12 designers, fostering a culture of creativity and growth. Additionally, I have developed sales scripts that successfully integrated UX into Salesforce solutions, creating new opportunities for project expansion and client relationships. Presently, I am immersed in expanding my expertise into the realms of machine learning (ML), deep learning (DL), artificial intelligence (AI), and virtual reality (VR). This endeavor includes pursuing certifications in data science and deep learning, equipping myself with the knowledge to lead and innovate in the fields of the future. My goal is to leverage these advanced technologies to further refine our understanding of user experiences, predict trends, and deliver solutions that are not only technically advanced but also deeply resonant with users' needs and aspirations while not forgetting about empathy and connection.

Accesify
The problem we are trying to solve is that of accessibility of the internet by people to disabilities. Accessibility in the sense that people with disabilities eg, people with ADHD, find it hard to navigate through complex and long webpages and end up getting less from what is meant to benefit them the most. Our solutiion is Accessify, A chrome extension that uses generative AI (Gemini Ultra APIs) to be able to simplify the process of navigating through webpages. Gemini Takes in the webpage, summarises and gives a more comprehensible, understandable and storylike version of the website which can make it easy for them to navigate thorugh the site. Accessify also offers additional features such as images summarisation and it is also able to explain an image inthe context pf the words that is found around it. This will help those with poor vision, color blindness, etc to better understand their webpages. Also, a Text-to-Speech model also makes it easy for people who are blind or who just prefer spoken words to listen to the better version of the website. In the future, we hope to make Accessify open source and others can contribute to it. Other features that we will want to include oin the feature is saving preference data to be able to provide better services to our audience, improving the view of the extension, add other feaures like contrast enhancement, and integrate it with an IoT device - Braille writer that can help translate Words to Braille for those with visual impairment to use. We hope to see people with disabilitiies flourish despite their seemingly disadvantaged state, but with accessify, we can change the game. Thank you.
